"The Ballad of Buckethead" is a song by guitarist Buckethead from his 1999 album Monsters and Robots. It is one of the few Buckethead songs to prominently feature vocals, which are performed by Primus' Les Claypool. The song is split into three verses, with the chorus following the first and third verse. The song, as its title suggests, tells the (fake) story of Buckethead's life, particularly his upbringing. According to Buckethead's official biography, he was raised in a chicken coop by chickens, and the lyrics to the high-octane narrative continue this theme: A video clip using 3D models and reassembling themes from the lyrics was made by English artist Dave McKean, and gained airplay on several music related televison stations. The song features samples from the 1996 movie Sling Blade. Credits *Buckethead - guitar *Les Claypool - vocals, bass *Bryan Mantia - drums Referemces |
